Dear developers,
from documentation
https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/installation.html
seems that a build with cygwin compiler is possible, however
the results seems puzzling.
I tried with opemmpi compilers on x86_64 platform
--with-cc=mpicc --with-cxx=mpic++ --with-fc=mpifort --prefix=/usr/local
PETSC_ARCH=arch-mswin-gnu
and I see that the shared libraries have incorrect names
./arch-mswin-gnu/lib/libpetsc.dll
./arch-mswin-gnu/lib/libpetsc.so.3.7
./arch-mswin-gnu/lib/libpetsc.so.3.7.5
the right one should be cygpetsc-SONAME.dll;
The dependencies are correct
$ cygcheck arch-mswin-gnu/lib/libpetsc.so.3.7.5 |grep "^ E"
E:\cygwin64\bin\cyggcc_s-seh-1.dll
E:\cygwin64\bin\cyggfortran-3.dll
E:\cygwin64\bin\cygblas-0.dll
E:\cygwin64\bin\cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll
E:\cygwin64\lib\lapack\cyglapack-0.dll
E:\cygwin64\bin\cygmpi-12.dll
E:\cygwin64\bin\cygmpi_mpifh-12.dll
E:\cygwin64\bin\cygssl-1.0.0.dll
E:\cygwin64\bin\cygX11-6.dll
there is no trace of import library ( *.a or *.lib)
Almost all tests fails.

I also tried a build without mpi --with-mpi=0
but the tests seem to call mpi anyway:

that is at least curious.
Question:
- have some recently built successfully on cygwin for cygwin ?
Looking at build scripts on config directory I have the impression
that cygwin is only used as platform to build for Windows and not for
cygwin itself.
Thanks in advance
Marco
